on the exhaust subject, my picture of Ken Rand original shows short stub pipes. Obviously these take up the least real estate, and get more heat out of the cowl. assuming backpressure needs can be addressed with baffles (?) whats the downside? ___ Searc

Hi Mark - Sure looks great - is the silver finish the home brew ceramic coating (TurboX)? I assume your talking about having just the final pipe chromed. I had my exhaust on the Osprey ceramic coated by JetHot about 15 years ago. I think the cost was ~$300. I has held up pretty well (peeled of

Looks good! For plating it was common practice to use electroless nickle. Personally, I would go with full ceramic coating both inside and out. Probably cost a little more. Nice job.. -- Wayne DeLisle Sr. KR> exhaust system - nothing left but the tailpipe! Mark Langford ml at n56ml.com

N611GB turbo headers are wrapped in the fiberglass wrap in only a few places where the hot exhaust pipes come close to (hard) oil lines and oil filter. Later more sections may be wrapped if heating the cowl or other parts becomes a problem. There is doubt that it'll do any good as the flowing o
